HC Deb 16 August 1901 vol 99 cc1171-2
MR. O'DOHERTY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether representations have been received by the Board of Works from merchants and farmers resident at or near Rashenny station, on the new railway from Buncrona to Cardonagh, requesting them to have a goods shed erected there in order to protect the goods and farm produce carried by the railway; and whether, considering the small expense that the construction of a goods shed would entail, the Board of Works will have the station buildings completed in this respect.

MR. WYNDHAM

The reply to the first paragraph is in the affirmative. The probable traffic requirements of the districts to be served by the railway were carefully considered when the plans were being prepared, and the necessity of a goods store as Rashenny was not suggested. If, after experience, it is found that a shed is required at this place, the company will no doubt provide it.
